Description: | Copper alloy strap-end dating to the 8th century and of Anglo-Carolingian origin. The strap-end is rectangular shaped and measures 30mm in length and 23mm in width. At one end of the strap-end there are three circular perforations (measuring 4mm in diameter)in a horizontal row for rivets to attach to the strap or belt. At this end of the object, the copper alloy is a thin sheet (on top of which another plate may have been attached) it then becomes thicker (4.5mm) to allow for the decorated part of the strap-end. This consists of deeply cut decoration, likely to be zoomorphic, although it is impossible to make out any specific animal. The object is broken across the decorated plate. The strap-end weighs 12.51g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 700
